Majority being Irish internationals which also helps too, 25 00:01:28,387 --> 00:01:32,507 Speaker 3: And yeah, it's enjoying a change of scene and you're 26 00:01:32,547 --> 00:01:34,147 Speaker 3: out of my comfort zone in some ways. 27 00:01:34,147 --> 00:01:35,867 Speaker 4: So the foot has been going good. 28 00:01:35,987 --> 00:01:38,267 Speaker 2: Has the standard of the rugby in the USC and 29 00:01:38,267 --> 00:01:40,627 Speaker 2: also of the Champions Cup being what you expected it 30 00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:41,027 Speaker 2: would be. 31 00:01:42,907 --> 00:01:44,267 Speaker 4: Yeah, probably as expected. 32 00:01:44,427 --> 00:01:49,427 Speaker 3: I mean there's been some challenging games and then I mean, respectfully, 33 00:01:49,427 --> 00:01:52,947 Speaker 3: there's been some yeah, games that have been a little 34 00:01:52,947 --> 00:01:57,547 Speaker 3: bit below I guess the top of the table clashes, 35 00:01:57,587 --> 00:02:00,507 Speaker 3: but that's just the way it is and the way 36 00:02:00,947 --> 00:02:04,027 Speaker 3: it works, particularly a Leinster like throughout the six Nations, 37 00:02:04,107 --> 00:02:08,187 Speaker 3: you lose twenty two or twenty three internationals, and all 38 00:02:08,227 --> 00:02:11,587 Speaker 3: of a sudden you're playing with a lot of academy 39 00:02:11,707 --> 00:02:13,827 Speaker 3: players or young guys or guys that are on the 40 00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:16,347 Speaker 3: brink of international So it's a great challenge in that 41 00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:20,387 Speaker 3: sense and a good leveler and an opportunity to lead 42 00:02:20,467 --> 00:02:22,787 Speaker 3: throughout those weeks when you have the opportunities, and then 43 00:02:23,147 --> 00:02:26,667 Speaker 3: when internationals come back, you're kind of just got to 44 00:02:26,667 --> 00:02:27,827 Speaker 3: worry about doing your job. 45 00:02:27,947 --> 00:02:29,147 Speaker 4: So it's been a nice balance. 46 00:02:29,707 --> 00:02:31,707 Speaker 2: Have you been mainly playing at second five or have 47 00:02:31,787 --> 00:02:34,707 Speaker 2: you had some games at fallback as well? 48 00:02:35,307 --> 00:02:39,827 Speaker 3: Yes, mostly, Well, I mean it's probably it's been a 49 00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:42,467 Speaker 3: fifty to fifty split in terms of fifteen and twelve. 50 00:02:43,067 --> 00:02:45,467 Speaker 4: Spend most of my training at twelve. But it's been 51 00:02:45,547 --> 00:02:46,347 Speaker 4: nice in that sense. 52 00:02:46,347 --> 00:02:49,387 Speaker 3: It's being able to bounce between a couple of positions again. 53 00:02:49,467 --> 00:02:51,987 Speaker 4: And look, I've been enjoying my footy at fifteen. 54 00:02:53,587 --> 00:02:55,307 Speaker 3: It's nice to get back there and see the game 55 00:02:55,307 --> 00:02:57,507 Speaker 3: a little bit differently. And I've had a few couple 56 00:02:57,507 --> 00:03:01,227 Speaker 3: of games you at fallback, so yeah, But of late 57 00:03:01,507 --> 00:03:03,427 Speaker 3: the past month so I've been at twelve, which has 58 00:03:03,427 --> 00:03:04,347 Speaker 3: been enjoyable too. 59 00:03:04,827 --> 00:03:06,627 Speaker 2: I remember you said when you made this to Vision 60 00:03:06,667 --> 00:03:08,747 Speaker 2: that you wanted to go somewhere that would improve your 61 00:03:08,827 --> 00:03:11,987 Speaker 2: rugby and allow you to come back as a better player. 62 00:03:12,427 --> 00:03:13,987 Speaker 2: Do you think that's happened? Do you think you'll come 63 00:03:13,987 --> 00:03:16,347 Speaker 2: back a better play? 64 00:03:17,387 --> 00:03:17,907 Speaker 4: I think so. 65 00:03:19,347 --> 00:03:21,787 Speaker 3: I reserve that joke for people watching on the telly, 66 00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:26,027 Speaker 3: But I feel like I'm growing my game. Like I said, 67 00:03:26,027 --> 00:03:29,427 Speaker 3: it was a challenge come up here, become familiar with 68 00:03:29,467 --> 00:03:34,107 Speaker 3: another system and different coaches and players in a different 69 00:03:34,187 --> 00:03:38,467 Speaker 3: culture and environment. So I feel like my rugby is improving, 70 00:03:38,467 --> 00:03:42,267 Speaker 3: which is nice and it's never ending. Like any footy 71 00:03:42,307 --> 00:03:44,507 Speaker 3: player just wants to improve, and I feel like I'm 72 00:03:44,507 --> 00:03:48,987 Speaker 3: making slight improvements. So look, I can keep getting better 73 00:03:49,027 --> 00:03:50,147 Speaker 3: in the back end of the season. 74 00:03:51,347 --> 00:03:53,147 Speaker 4: Semi finals and finals coming up. 75 00:03:53,187 --> 00:03:57,907 Speaker 3: So yeah, hopefully we give ourselves another chance and earn 76 00:03:57,947 --> 00:04:00,067 Speaker 3: the right to make a European final in a few 77 00:04:00,067 --> 00:04:02,787 Speaker 3: weeks time and then push deep into the UC competition. 78 00:04:03,387 --> 00:04:05,147 Speaker 2: I know there was some concern among some people that 79 00:04:05,187 --> 00:04:06,987 Speaker 2: you didn't have much of a break between the end 80 00:04:06,987 --> 00:04:08,707 Speaker 2: of season two with the All Blacks. At the back 81 00:04:08,747 --> 00:04:10,587 Speaker 2: end of twenty twenty four you went straight to Leinster, 82 00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:13,507 Speaker 2: but the White set up over there with six Nations 83 00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,827 Speaker 2: and the calendar, you had most of February. In fact, 84 00:04:15,827 --> 00:04:17,987 Speaker 2: I think all of February and a decent chunk of 85 00:04:18,027 --> 00:04:20,227 Speaker 2: March when you didn't play. So did that give you 86 00:04:20,267 --> 00:04:22,947 Speaker 2: the break that you needed to refresh? 87 00:04:23,427 --> 00:04:27,267 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I think there's absolutely no concern in 88 00:04:27,387 --> 00:04:30,707 Speaker 3: terms of my workload. Leinster have been standing and managing that. 89 00:04:30,827 --> 00:04:36,227 Speaker 3: I went eight weeks without playing footyah throughout that January 90 00:04:36,347 --> 00:04:40,147 Speaker 3: February Six Nations phase, and it got to a stage 91 00:04:40,147 --> 00:04:42,427 Speaker 3: where actually felt like I needed to start playing footy again. 92 00:04:42,507 --> 00:04:45,467 Speaker 3: So I've been managing me really well. I felt fresh 93 00:04:45,627 --> 00:04:50,587 Speaker 3: ready to come back, particularly last month or so playing rugby, 94 00:04:50,627 --> 00:04:53,027 Speaker 3: and there was an opportunity to like I spent a 95 00:04:53,027 --> 00:04:54,747 Speaker 3: couple of weeks out of the environment and then I 96 00:04:54,787 --> 00:04:56,827 Speaker 3: had a good five or six week block where I 97 00:04:56,867 --> 00:04:59,667 Speaker 3: was able to recondition, get in the gym and train 98 00:04:59,947 --> 00:05:04,587 Speaker 3: fully from Yeah, I guess Monday to Saturday throughout the week, 99 00:05:04,667 --> 00:05:08,507 Speaker 3: so mentally physically I was in a great spot ready 100 00:05:08,507 --> 00:05:10,107 Speaker 3: to launch into this back end of the season. 101 00:05:10,307 --> 00:05:12,787 Speaker 2: It's been a great season for Leinster, top of the URC, 102 00:05:12,867 --> 00:05:15,267 Speaker 2: four games to go, semi finals of the Champions Cup, 103 00:05:15,547 --> 00:05:17,507 Speaker 2: just one loss all season and that was by one 104 00:05:17,547 --> 00:05:19,987 Speaker 2: point against the Balls that loft us. What have been 105 00:05:20,027 --> 00:05:25,027 Speaker 2: some of the main reasons for the team's success. 106 00:05:24,947 --> 00:05:28,667 Speaker 3: Yeah, the way the foundation of Leinster and look, they've 107 00:05:28,667 --> 00:05:32,747 Speaker 3: got a great academy system. A lot of boys come 108 00:05:33,067 --> 00:05:38,307 Speaker 3: out of schools based here in Dublin, Saint Michael's Black 109 00:05:38,387 --> 00:05:42,747 Speaker 3: Rock for example, come through the academy system. They want 110 00:05:42,787 --> 00:05:46,147 Speaker 3: to be here because they feel like they develop in 111 00:05:46,227 --> 00:05:49,427 Speaker 3: a great system around good coaches and can learn off 112 00:05:49,467 --> 00:05:53,307 Speaker 3: a lot of international players in the Irish team. 113 00:05:53,427 --> 00:05:55,827 Speaker 4: So look, it helps. 114 00:05:55,507 --> 00:05:58,667 Speaker 3: When everyone's available and you've got the caliber of player 115 00:05:59,387 --> 00:06:03,347 Speaker 3: like I learned to before twenty three international test caps 116 00:06:03,467 --> 00:06:07,267 Speaker 3: in your twenty three, and then you've got these guys 117 00:06:07,307 --> 00:06:13,187 Speaker 3: continually developing and growing underneath them. When the international players 118 00:06:13,227 --> 00:06:15,867 Speaker 3: get rotated out or they're away for six Nations duty, 119 00:06:15,907 --> 00:06:18,427 Speaker 3: it gives opportunities to the younger guys and then it's 120 00:06:18,547 --> 00:06:21,507 Speaker 3: I guess perfect development for them where they don't actually 121 00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:23,267 Speaker 3: need to be playing every week, so they might have 122 00:06:23,307 --> 00:06:26,347 Speaker 3: a couple of games then come out of the twenty 123 00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:28,707 Speaker 3: three and they get the opportunity to sit back, learn 124 00:06:29,067 --> 00:06:32,627 Speaker 3: from older players and go through those review preview processes, 125 00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:36,427 Speaker 3: and it's just a great club for I guess developing 126 00:06:36,427 --> 00:06:37,027 Speaker 3: as a player. 127 00:06:37,547 --> 00:06:40,067 Speaker 2: Your last game was a comfortable went over Glasgow in 128 00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:43,587 Speaker 2: the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup. You got rave reviews 129 00:06:43,587 --> 00:06:46,507 Speaker 2: for your own performance. How pleased were you with the 130 00:06:46,507 --> 00:06:48,187 Speaker 2: way you're played in that game specifically? 131 00:06:49,547 --> 00:06:51,027 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was very pleased, Poney. 132 00:06:51,627 --> 00:06:54,427 Speaker 3: I mean I was only you dual week because I 133 00:06:54,467 --> 00:06:56,627 Speaker 3: mean I was starting at twelve and Robbie Henshaw, who's 134 00:06:56,667 --> 00:07:00,987 Speaker 3: been an Irish legion and Lynx legend, was playing one 135 00:07:01,027 --> 00:07:05,427 Speaker 3: hundredth cap that day, so internally there's a lot of 136 00:07:05,587 --> 00:07:10,627 Speaker 3: added pressure way. But look, Leo's always said conversations might 137 00:07:10,667 --> 00:07:13,787 Speaker 3: be on the bench, I might be starting wherever I 138 00:07:13,867 --> 00:07:16,787 Speaker 3: fit into the puzzle. It doesn't matter as long as 139 00:07:16,827 --> 00:07:19,987 Speaker 3: it equates to some good rugby and ideally wins and 140 00:07:20,827 --> 00:07:22,587 Speaker 3: who knows, hopefully a trophy or two at the. 141 00:07:22,547 --> 00:07:23,467 Speaker 4: Back end of the season. 142 00:07:23,547 --> 00:07:26,307 Speaker 3: So look, I'm happy with the way I'm going at 143 00:07:26,307 --> 00:07:31,787 Speaker 3: the moment, but the challenging footy is all ahead of me, 144 00:07:31,947 --> 00:07:34,507 Speaker 3: so I can't wait to get stuck in. We've got 145 00:07:35,227 --> 00:07:40,707 Speaker 3: Ulster this weekend, another USC game, then Northampton and the 146 00:07:40,747 --> 00:07:43,427 Speaker 3: European semi final and absolutely flying at the moment. 147 00:07:44,267 --> 00:07:45,667 Speaker 4: Some great players over there. 148 00:07:46,747 --> 00:07:48,467 Speaker 2: So you'll return to New Zealand in time for the 149 00:07:48,467 --> 00:07:51,587 Speaker 2: All Black season, which starts against France and July. So 150 00:07:51,667 --> 00:07:54,747 Speaker 2: how would you compare playing for Leinster as preparation for 151 00:07:54,827 --> 00:07:58,067 Speaker 2: an international season compared to what you've known up till now, 152 00:07:58,107 --> 00:08:01,707 Speaker 2: which is playing for the Hurricanes and Super Rugby. 153 00:08:02,467 --> 00:08:03,187 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure. 154 00:08:03,227 --> 00:08:06,987 Speaker 3: I mean the transition, I guess is obviously different because 155 00:08:07,027 --> 00:08:08,827 Speaker 3: I'm in a different team and up here in Europe. 156 00:08:08,867 --> 00:08:12,547 Speaker 3: But I mean, if we make the UC fine our 157 00:08:12,587 --> 00:08:16,547 Speaker 3: finals on the fourteenth Junes. They're not dissimilar to the 158 00:08:16,587 --> 00:08:20,227 Speaker 3: Super Raggy Boys, whoever final around the same time. So 159 00:08:21,187 --> 00:08:25,747 Speaker 3: in terms of rest transition is this I guess the 160 00:08:25,827 --> 00:08:30,387 Speaker 3: same in terms of time frame, but I'm not sure. 161 00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:32,787 Speaker 3: I feel like I'll be ready to go and hopefully 162 00:08:34,467 --> 00:08:37,987 Speaker 3: packed and ready to take some form into into an 163 00:08:37,987 --> 00:08:40,627 Speaker 3: all Black jersey, which is the main reason why I 164 00:08:40,667 --> 00:08:42,227 Speaker 3: wanted to come up here in the first place. 165 00:08:43,307 --> 00:08:45,387 Speaker 2: How much contact have you had with Scott Robertson while 166 00:08:45,387 --> 00:08:47,667 Speaker 2: you've been away? 167 00:08:48,027 --> 00:08:52,107 Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit, Yeah, said the odd text, which 168 00:08:52,147 --> 00:08:54,707 Speaker 3: is nice, and yeah, it shows he's keeping an eye 169 00:08:54,747 --> 00:08:57,467 Speaker 3: on things and some of the other coaches, so ye're 170 00:08:57,587 --> 00:09:00,307 Speaker 3: just touching base and making sure things are tracking well 171 00:09:00,387 --> 00:09:04,147 Speaker 3: and yeah, I mean ultimately just healthy and playing good footy. 172 00:09:04,267 --> 00:09:06,347 Speaker 4: So yeah, I had a bit of contact there. 173 00:09:06,707 --> 00:09:10,307 Speaker 2: And you're all black Smithfield partner Rico Yuani coming up 174 00:09:10,307 --> 00:09:13,787 Speaker 2: to Lynster next year almost a straight swap.
